I kept flashing on MIB and his recruiting Sawyer:"Hey Eve, that looks like a mighty tasty apple.......which will give you ALL THE ANSWERS YOU
SEEK....."

Sawyer could see Childe Jacob (to the Dark Tower
Came....) after he was recruited, where Richard couldn't
because he said, "I'm not going anywhere with you."

2007/2008 TimelineSo -

4-Locke, 8-Reyes, 15-Ford, 16-Jarrah, 23-Shephard,
42-Kwon

Kate doesn't have a number.

Sawyer can now see Young Jacob, (because he was
recruited?)

Why is Miles still in the group?

Who is Ilana? What's she going to do with Jacob's
ashes? Put them in the Temple's Healing Hot Tub? (I did love the Raider's of the Lost Ark -esque
music when she was putting those ashes in the bag.)

How/Why is MIB stuck in the form of Locke (even
though he can still be Smoke Monster)? And how does Ilana know that?

Why does MIB need everyone dead to get off the
island....IF HE'S DEAD? WTF IS GOING ON WITH HIM?????

Atlantis Timeline

Rose still has cancer. (Called it! go me.)

Hurley is the coolest dude EVER.

Locke has a decent relationship with his father,
so there is another reason he is in that wheelchair (go me again), and he
and Helen are getting married.

Since Ben is now a teacher in Atlantis Timeline,
how did he get off the island in 1977 when the bomb went off, and why wasn't
he killed?

If Ben isn't dead in Atlantis Timeline, who else
is alive that was on the island at the time? Richard? Jacob? Widmore? Eloise? MIB? Pierre
Chang was probably too close to the detonation point to survive I'm guessing.....
Or is it just Ben (and Richard)?
